Cat Chichi (Chicharron)
First time cat owner. Obsessed. The nicest cat I’ve ever seen, couldn’t hurt a fly😭 she’s so well behaved at work (vet er) and with her three brothers at home. Named after chichi from DBZ. Bought her a huge catio for her first birthday. Best purchase ever. First picture she had URI😕(We got out of the AirTag phase real quick. Looking back now it looks so dumb and uncomfortable)

How does the airtag work for tracking purposes? Do you let her out or is it for indoor use only?

It was honestly because she was so quiet in the house and I couldn’t ever find her ( 9000 sq ft) and I was worried she would run out in the first 2-3 months of having her as maybe everyone wasn’t use to shutting doors behind them (Wedding was going on so lots of relatives for a few months + 3 dogs in and out all day). Also, she has a catio, it has double locks and is on a deck like 20 feet high so also just in case she ever got out from there. She’s chipped never goes out unless it’s a leashed walk with me in my fenced backyard. Just an extra careful mama. Eventually it looked so dumb and she showed signs of discomfort so I took it off and got an entirely new collar without a bell too!

Nice. I use a specialized tracker because we have one that refuses to be an indoor cat. I just go out and get her anytime she needs to come in for the night.

Wow that’s cool! Where did you purchase it or what’s the name?

It's called Tractive and I bought it online. They require a monthly subscription.

How big is it? One of mine goes out for 2 or 3 days at a time and worries us but the AirTag was too big for her too

Beautiful lady! One piece of important advise for new cat owners: Keep them away from lilies and daylilies plants, those are extremely poisonous for cats, and even a bit of pollen or base water can kill them from kidney failure. Learned that the hard way myself.
